Dany Prüm

Artist born in Luxembourg

At the age of 25, Dany Prüm, born 18 February 1965 in Luxembourg, and recipient of the 1989 "Merit prize for young painters" from the Cercle Artistique Luxembourg (the Circle of Luxembourg Artists), was able to put on her first personal exhibition at the Clairefontaine gallery. Since then, many exhibitions in Luxembourg and foreign countries have followed.

Admiration for Tapiès

In her paintings, distinguished by a great admiration for the great Catalan Tapiès and by her trip to India, the artist speaks of the world and its problems while attracting the attention of the viewer to details that might otherwise be overlooked.

Techniques

For basic materials, Dany Prüm often uses a large backcloth or wrapping paper for a warm brown background. She works in acrylic, chalk, varnish, and colors diluted with water. Dany Prüm also uses engraving, mixing techniques, and pencil for lifelike compositions. The style of the paintings, often made up of several sections, barely changes. What do change are the themes, such as that of the crucifixion, or even the symbols such as the dove of peace or the arrow.
